Better than Television

The house we've moved into has a shed, but unfortunately the shed is full of rats. So Grandpa and the boys came to help clean it out of junk and rat poo. Meghan was so excited that her uncles had come to play with her. But when they went outside and she learned she couldn't go too, she had a royal fit. So, we rigged her up in her high chair with some snacks so she could watch the action. We had a good view and it was very entertaining.


The boys would come up to the window and wave to Meghan. She tried offering them grapes, but they were not interested.


All of a sudden, a high squeal rang from the shed. Grandpa had found the rats! Hans the Hunter took care of one of them with his dual knife skills. It takes lots of talent to kill rats with just knives. They finished emptying the shed and sprayed it down.

Meghan was glad when the boys came in to entertain her again. They clapped for her and Hans belly danced for her. Meghan kept trying to make his stomach stop wiggling by hitting it but it only made him laugh.
All in all it was a fun day - at least for those of us not cleaning out the shed.
